Small bump, the upcoming tie-dye rotation is out and I'll be adjusting scheme things once the new schemes have either guides or decent marketplace tags.
There are a few scheme guides that I need to re-add but I haven't had the time/energy to fix up my own guides yet. I hope to get things up to date soon though.
Added guides for Mojito and Shibuya.
Added Marketplace search for Monarch, Viper, and Wispers/Wispberry.
Re-added guides for Gloomy, Pearlescent, and Rosette.
Viper originally debuted with shamrock green as its middle green, however it's been changed to use Velvet Green instead. Because it's the middle green and is very faded between pine and bugless, it may not have an accurate color sample, at least not until it shows up separately.
Skuzy will be added once a few items in it are released.
At the exact moment I'm updating this, it seems that the vast majority of Gaia's item preview/advertisement images are broken within the forums?
Hopefully this gets resolved, or else I'm gonna have a long next few days making a few hundred brand new images.
I think it's Lanzer's attempt to fix the old image links gone a bit awry. That is to say it's a script the site is running on the image URLs so I don't think you'd be able to change the URLs to work.
I think he made the same mistake I did in his script and forgot to account for the slightly different URLs that promo image use (it also didn't fix the old image icon links because it doesn't replace the /e#/ part of the URLs unfortunately)

Thanks to Lanzer's hard work, most guides that had their thumbnail urls broken back in the spring are now fixed!
Unfortunately I won't have time to go through and update all the "Broken thumbnails" text until November. When I do, I'll be checking all guides to see if they're still somewhat up-to-date. This shouldn't be too strict unless the scheme guide is missing (for example) 10+ items over 6 months. Smaller schemes with very few new items will have a little more lenience.
Guides that are technically outdated but are more comprehensive than the Marketplace search will remain (or be re-added from the last pruning) though the notation for them is still to be determined.
The main thing is that a lot of guides from Shades of Blue were so outdated that it was best to remove them. They have been either archived or removed completely.
Guides that are out of date but still useful will have [As of DD/MM/YYYY] in their link so that you know when the latest item was*. The vast majority of archived threads have a Marketplace link to pick up from where the guide leaves off. Some archived/outdated guides were re-added since the thumbnail hyperlinks were fixed on the backend by Lanzer.
*As of writing there's one exception - I did not get a date for Offchrome. Monochrome was very tedious and when I was compiling my notes I just didn't want to do it again. I will circle back to it eventually.
Everything should be set but if you notice any broken or misdirecting links, please let me know! I had a ton of link editing to do this time around.
Added Marketplace search for Black Forest, Passion, and Ifrit.
Added guides for Wisteria, Lullaby, Sickly, and Vitriolic.
Updated links for all schemes that use Toxic to link to the new guide, Toxic Item Guide.
